  • KPIs: Customer Service KPIs are strategic and focused on critical areas that directly impact the overall goals and objectives of the customer service department and the organization. They provide a clear indication of success and areas that require improvement.
  • Metrics: Customer Service Metrics are broader and can include any data point that helps to measure and analyze customer service performance. They are often more granular and operational in nature, providing detailed insights into specific aspects of the service process.

2. Strategic relevance:

  • KPIs: KPIs are carefully selected to align with the company's strategic goals and are used to drive decision-making at higher levels. They are typically few in number but high in relevance and impact.

  • Metrics: Metrics are used by operational teams to monitor and manage the performance of specific tasks and processes. They provide the data needed to improve efficiency and effectiveness but may not directly correlate with strategic goals.

4. Examples:

  • KPIs: Examples include First Response Time, Resolution Time, Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT), Net Promoter Score (NPS), and First Contact Resolution (FCR).

Encuestas sobre el pulso de los empleados:

Se trata de encuestas breves que pueden enviarse con frecuencia para comprobar rápidamente lo que piensan sus empleados sobre un tema. La encuesta consta de menos preguntas (no más de 10) para obtener la información rápidamente. Pueden administrarse a intervalos regulares (mensual/semanal/trimestral).

Reuniones individuales:

Celebrar reuniones periódicas de una hora de duración para mantener una charla informal con cada miembro del equipo es una forma excelente de hacerse una idea real de lo que les pasa. Al tratarse de una conversación segura y privada, te ayuda a obtener mejores detalles sobre un asunto.

eNPS:

eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) es una de las formas más sencillas y eficaces de evaluar la opinión de sus empleados sobre su empresa. Incluye una pregunta intrigante que mide la lealtad. Un ejemplo de preguntas de eNPS son ¿Qué probabilidades hay de que recomiende nuestra empresa a otras personas? Los empleados responden a la encuesta eNPS en una escala del 1 al 10, donde 10 significa que es "muy probable" que recomienden la empresa y 1 significa que es "muy improbable" que la recomienden.

En función de las respuestas, los empleados pueden clasificarse en tres categorías diferentes:

  • Promotores
    Empleados que han respondido positivamente o están de acuerdo.
  • Detractores
    Empleados que han reaccionado negativamente o no están de acuerdo.
  • Pasivos
    Empleados que se han mantenido neutrales con sus respuestas.
